About this map

The agrarian landscape along the boundary of Lee and Sumter counties is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the wide Scape Ore Swamp, Coupen Swamp, and Rocky Bluff Swamp. These drainages separate small communities like Ashwood, Mechanicsville, and DuBose, which are linked by long-established routes such as Rembert Church Rd and Browntown Rd. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds central to the area's social history, including Rembert Cem, Hebron Cem, and Antioch Cem.

Educational and economic focal points appear at the Ashwood School and the Flying O Airport near Oswego. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features like Ashwood Lake and Hill Pond, reflecting the wet lowlands characteristic of this part of South Carolina. The presence of numerous named roads like Collough Plantation Rd and Page Dairy Rd suggests the historical agricultural roots of these rural tracts.
